WOW!! SpaceX Makes History AGAIN With Starship's Successful 4th Flight - SpaceX Weekly

[@MrKellymcilrath]

WOW!! is right, Lab Padre makes history AGAIN with another awesome SpaceX Weekly Update!!! Thank you Lab Padre!!!!

[@ralphwagenet852]

Excellent update - informative, and well paced - not too quick nor did it drag. Thanks!

[@SebastianWellsTL]

Flight-4 was awesome! Looking forward even more now to Flight-5!

[@AmassiveOverLoad]

On X Elon stated they will try a catch.

[@SebastianWellsTL]

@@AmassiveOverLoad Nice! :D

[@lang1892]

cant wait to see the catch.. although a bit nervous

[@kenalder6263]

Lab, these updates are the best on the web! Great voice, perfectly delivered, keep up the great work, I absolutely love it!

[@garypeak607]

Whew, what an event filled week, Louis. Thank you!

[@andremartel828]

Excellent reporting. Keep up the good work. Thank you.

[@arnoldsmith5754]

thanks for the update complete as usual

[@SpaceflightExplained]

Starship has just proven itself to be the world's first potentially fully reusable rocket

[@SebastianWellsTL]

Fully reusable that is! 😄

[@alquinn8576]

@@SebastianWellsTL except the hot staging ring..

[@snakevenom4954]

@@alquinn8576 Future versions will have a hot staging ring built in. So until then, it remains potentially fully reusable lol

[@timmaes2421]

Keyword “potentially”.

Thanks LabPadre team. What an epic week!!!

[@JohnMaun]

Great update, thanks Lab.

[@mrmeany2u780]

Was a very exciting flight. Thank you for the great updates.

[@tmg7476]

Another good info-packed no nonsense report. Thanks.

[@ThatsDave]

Quite enjoyable. Keep it up-

[@StingerNSW]

Great recap, bring on Flight 5 👍

[@FrankBenlin]

Want to see a forty story building go straight up into space? Thanks, Lab.

[@DSE8991]

Chief is back! Yes!

[@yrijol]

👍 Просто Чудово!!!!

[@Liberty4Ever]

Another GREAT report on another GREAT week for SpaceX. What a week! Maybe some custom tiles to deflect plasma around the flap hinges during hypersonic reentry? SpaceX aerodynamic engineers are probably doing the computational fluid dynamics modeling for that right now. 🙂 IFT-5, here we come! The way Starship continued to function properly with so much control surface structural damage during an early flight test makes me want to fly in that vehicle when the design is finalized.

[@teds8747]

IFT4 was a nail-biter, right to the end! sooo cool...

[@vix3779]

Hot damn, what a week that was! Enormous thanks, as always @LabPadre and #TeamLab! btw...that hot-stage jettison, or de-crowning (lol) was majestic! (ironically)

[@allen1414]

Thank you Louis and LabPadre team #118 was well worth waiting for a update well done..

[@charleslord2433]

Well worth the wait!

[@johnrday2023]

It is so good to be able to follow Spacex construction at Starbase. The pile cap on OLT-2 is huge, being twice as wide as the tower column centers. And becoming clear where OLM-2 is to go. Minor detail is where the catchment pond for water deluge runoff is to be built. What is best guess as to date of 1st section of OLT to be erected ?

[@tomsheridan989]

La Padre!

[@allanrose3661]

Looks like the location of the 2nd orbital pad means launches from it will over fly the 1st orbital pad and orbital tank farm.

[@darthex0]

😮someone tell someone to engineer those grid fins into the hot staging section...

[@TroyRubert]

I got the same feeling I had in September 2013.

[@harrisonbergeron9764]

Watched this launch with my 6 month old Granddaughter it was EPIC. Now watching this video with her.

[@SebastianWellsTL]

Awesome! Now she can say that she watched Starship softly land in the ocean! 😄

[@Liberty4Ever]

Thanks to the awesome folks at SpaceX, your granddaughter can live or work in space. As a nerdy child of the Apollo era, that was my dream, but half a century of government monopoly of aerospace ensured my childhood dream would never be realized.

Is there more video from the buoy? if so, where is it.

[@1fastal1]

I see ENDLESS PILES of money!!!

[@rogerthomas169]

Yes, piles of money to be made!

[@hawkdsl]

The catch is gonna be epic. Good or bad.

[@Ch33ziTzsk8R]

Wonder if they have to file for road closure and shut the highway down for moving the rings around the the front of the building to the ring yard, seems like they could just do a hold but I’m not sure how long it would take for the spmts to get around the new star factory🤔

[@stefanbaartman5893]

I allmost fell asleep during the ad.

[@sidmickler2946]

hey guys, does anyone know what happened to the booster and starship floating in the water with Armed FTS still onboard ???

[@kevinkalthoff8083]

Bottom of ocean

[@beakytwitch7905]

I@@kevinkalthoff8083 I doubt that.

[@rogerthomas169]

​@@kevinkalthoff8083is that verified? Or just assumed?

[@SebastianWellsTL]

@@kevinkalthoff8083 Should make a great artificial shelter.

[@srrich27]

The FTS gets disarmed during flight. You'll hear a call-out, "FTS has Safed" when it gets turned off.

[@michaelpeslow2839]

nice

[@alancoker1459]

NOW watching 118😂

[@tmuny1380]

I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT STARSHIP ! CAN YOU IMAGINE AN 18 MONTHS WE'RE GOING TO BE LANDING PEOPLE ON THE MOON WITH THIS BEAUTIFUL SPACESHIP !

[@1fastal1]

If flt 5 does 1 full orbit then does a de-orbit burn it might enter slower and suffer less damage!

[@undertow2142]

That’s not how orbit works besides they are engineering the heat shield to re-enter at even higher speeds as it will come back from the moon and especially mars at much higher speed than LEO.

[@alancoker1459]

Ah....rear AND forward😮

[@dphuntsman]

Just another usual Outstanding report! It reminded me of something that’s incredible: They didn’t do the final stacking of IFT-4 until

[@patrickdaye126]

Let's talk about docking

[@reicer01]

IF he arrives in mars before others probably could claim all the planet as his domain, included placing weapons to defend, insane stuff

[@KenKrawchuk]

@yt45204 Ah, yes. As Robert Heinlein put it, the Moon is a Harsh Mistress.

[@KenKrawchuk]

@yt45204 Yep. Read for yourself. Google "moon is a harsh mistress pdf" and it's easily found.

[@stargalacticfederation]

Elon Musk should use Mechazilla to catch the Rocket on the 6th flight test after the second launch Tower is finished being built, in case something goes wrong he can use the second Tower to launch the next Starship Rocket.

[@vmoutsop]

I still want to know what happened to the starship, where is it, was it blown up, was it sunk, will it be recovered, etc? What’s to keep it from being stolen by some other country or competitor?

[@mijoh2]

Does anyone ever get injured doing all this construction? There HAVE to have been some serious injuries at some point. Yet, we never seem to hear about that part of it.

[@TheEvilmooseofdoom]

There certainly has been injuries. Who tracks and reports it?

[@mijoh2]

@TheEvilmooseofdoom I'm sure someone would be screaming from the rooftop if there were no or just minor injuries doing this stuff. Sweeping it under the rug is a disservice to the workers. People are putting their lives on the line and should be recognized for that part of it as well.

[@MattheasJ]

"There most be something wrong, the TV tells me to hate him so much so there must be something wrong!!!" Space X employees are actually very well treated and seem to be stoked. You can go down there and ask them yourselves. You won't.

[@mijoh2]

@@MattheasJ Dude, many have already asked. There are like a million articles on the sexual harassment and mistreatment of women going on at SpaceX. Not to mention the lawsuits. Don't just swill the kool-aid. I admire what SpaceX is doing and am 100% on board. Still, you can't just sweep bad shit under the rug because of it.
